It seems foolish to hear men com
planning Of the tax on tobacco and
whlskey. 1h,s tax can be abolished
Wy every man, woman aud child
simply by not using the articles.
Don't drink the whlskey and you
will not pay any tax on whiskeY.
Don't chew or SMOKE any tohacco
AMI you will not pay any tax on
tobacco. These are luxuries, let
them alone if you don't want to pay
the tax. Put your spare money in
The accessories and comforts of life,
and let these luxuries and poisions
alone. You will be better off and
the country will he better off, for it,

thor of The Private Secretary" Those
